Question

I'am working on J2EE spring Mvc Based App with hibernate And Spring Security, And I want to bootstrap some data on Start-up ( one and only one time during the app life Cycle ), I'm Using hbm2ddl to create tables after launching the application, but they are empty, so I need to add instances to the database ( Username , password ... ) So I can test my App on development mode.

Answer 1

If you have a file called import.sql in the root of your classpath, Hibernate will execute it on application startup.

Please note that it is a Hibernate feature and thus not portable between persistence providers.
